Watch out with trying to close it all the way using the motor. There are two tabs that slide back then draw the sunroof down. I had tried to use the motor and get mine to go down and one of the tabs broke off. Best way is to open it then slowely put it down by hand. There is a area to put a wrench used to open and close it under the cover plate on top.
